1 Claim. (Cl. 131211) This invention relates to combination smokingpipes and cigarette holders. It-is particularly directed to a pipehaving a stem which may be :used as a cigarette holder.,

and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the constructionhereinafterdescribed, 20 and ofwhich the scope of application will beindicated in the following claim.

In the accompanying drawing, in which is shown one of the variouspossible illustrative embodiments of this invention, 25 Figure 1 is anaxial, elevational, cross-sectional view of a combination pipe andcigarette holder embodying the invention;

Figure 2 is an axial, cross-sectional View of the stem of the pipeusedas a cigarette holder;

- 30 and Figure 3 is an axial, elevational, cross-sectional view,similar to Figure 1, but illustrating a modified construction.

Referriing now in detail to the drawing, Ill

35 designates a combination pipe and cigarette holder embodying theinvention. The same comprises a member H having a bowl portion 12 and ashank portion l3, extending at right angles to the bowl. The shankportion l3 has a 40 reduced cylindrical portion [4 formed with a conicalend surface l5. The shank I3 has an axial through bore It extending fromthe bottom of the bowl to the apex of the conical portion or surface i5.

5 Frictionally attached to the shank I3 is a stem H, which may be usedas a cigarette holder, as will be explained hereinafter. The stem l'ltapers toward the tip l8, which is received within the mouth of thesmoker, and has a socket [9 5 at the larger end, adapted to frictionallyreceive the cylindrical portion I4 of the shank. The

outer end 20 of the stem ll abuts the shoulder- 2I of the shank at thereduced portion M; The socket I9 is longer than the cylindrical portion55 I4, and the bottom of the socket is formed with An object of thisinvention is to provide a a conical surface 23. The stem has a'narrowthrough opening 24, communicating with the socket l9.

Extending within the through bore 16 of the shank I3, is a metal pipe 21having a conical portion 28 at one end receiving and contacting theconical portion [5 of the shank.

It will now be understood that saliva will be trapped in the spacebetween the portion 28 of member I6 and the bottom 23 of the socket I9.The saliva so trapped may be readily cleaned out.

The stem Il may be removed from the shank, and a cigarette 30 may beinserted within the socket l9. Any suitable absorbent material 3| may beplaced into the bottom of the socket 19 to absorb nicotine or saliva.

In Figure 3 there is shown a pipe Illa. illustrating a modified form ofthe invention. In Figure 3 there is disclosed a member 4|] comprising abowl portion 4| and a shank portion 42. The shank portion 42 is formedwith a socket 43 and with a through opening 44, communicating with thebottom of the bowl and with the socket 43.

Attached to the member 45 is a metal member 45 comprising a centralcollar portion 46, engaging the outer end of the shank 42, a tubularportion 41 disposed within the socket 43, and a reduced portion 48disposed within the through opening 44.

Extending from the collar 46 is an axial, externally screw threadedportion 49, from which there extends a conical portion 50. The member isprovided with an axialthrough opening,

as shown in the drawing. 35 N Screwed to the'screw threaded portion 49is a stem 52 formed with a socket 55 to provide a chamber between theportion of member 45 and the bottom of said socket. The bottom 56 of thesocket may be conical, as shown in 40 Figure 3,

It will now be understood that the pipe Illa.

may be easily disassembled and assembled, and

changes might be made in the embodiment above set forth, it is to beunderstood that all -matter herein set forth or shown in the accom- 55panying drawing is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in alimiting sense.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

A smoking pipe comprising a member having a bowl portion, and a shankextending therefrom, said shank being formed with a reduced cylindricalportion, the outer end of said cylindrical portion being conical, andsaid shank being formed with a through opening extending from the bottomof the bowl to the apex of said conical portion, a member made of metalhaving a pipe portion extending within said through opening and having aconical portion at one end of said pipe portion receiving the conicalportion of the shank, and a stern having a socket at one end receivingthe cylindrical portion of the shank, said socket being of such lengthas to provide a chamber between the conical portion of said metal memberand the bottom of said socket.
